A truly global event taking place every year unites the world’s population in the fight against cancer.

It aims to save millions of preventable deaths each year by raising awareness and education about the disease, pressing governments and individuals across the world to take action.

Whoever you are, you have the power to reduce the impact of cancer on yourself, the people you love and on the world.
